Top 8 Farms in Green Mountains, Green Mountains
Vermonts Green Mountains are the peaks that gave the 14th state its name. Still largely covered by the verdant forest, the area is a year-round destination, popular with both skiers and hikers. The Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail, traverses the state, while drivers set a slower pace on Vermonts scenic roads. Quaint towns, such as Stowe and Montgomery, acres of farmed valleys, apple orchards, covered bridges and specialty stores take visitors back in time, and charming inns await.

1. Mad Tom Orchard

We were so thrilled to find this beautiful orchard, run by a super friendly semi-retired couple and their adorable older dog. When you imagine apple picking in Vermont, this place is what you imagine: Tremendous views of the mountains, meticulously-maintained red barns and row after row of trees brimming with easily-reached apples. We especially enjoyed picking Macintosh apples off one of a few 78 year-old trees they have! We came on a weekday, so we had the place to ourselves. The prices are very reasonable and the apples are delicious. The owners also welcome leashes dogs to join their families in the orchard. Add this to your “must do” list when visiting southern Vermont.

We are a small dairy farm and cheese making facility. We sell farmhouse cheese and local humanely raised meats and raw milk. We give tours of the farm and our progress and answer questions about farm to table. Our goal/mission is to educate our community and guests about a small farm life.

What a fantastic farm settled into the hills of Manchester. The owners couldn’t be nicer and take care of the animals that range from massive 800 lb pigs (we like Pierre the Pig the best) to calfs, goats and sheep and others. They let our little ones pick up the animals, collect eggs and do just about as much as we pleased in terms of farm help! It is a smaller family run organization where tours are personable and you can wander into their shop full of both their eggs, meats and cheese. There is also loads of breads, honey, sauces and other food products that we’ve seen sold at the weekly farmers markets in town so it’s been a nice tip of the cap to some of the local businesses. In the summertime, the fresh vegetable garden is a source of big envy for us as aspiring gardeners.

Historic home of Robert Lincoln, only child of President and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to adulthood. The estate has beautiful gardens, restored 1903 wooden Pullman palace car, goat farm and cheesemaking facility, 12+ miles of walking trails, teaching greenhouse and cross-country skiing in winter.

After visiting Manchester dozens of times, we finally went to HIldene and can't believe we didn't go before. The entrance fee seemed pretty high, but surely that is needed to support the maintenance and operation. You could spend much of a day touring the historic house and restored Pullman car (with great docents to give insight into what you're seeing), visiting the goats and farm, and hiking or skiing the trails.

What a lovely place. We came during berry season, and picked raspberries and blueberries, then grabbed some fresh baked bread. But this place is full of wonder - there are so many little and big surprises to discover. We and our kids stayed for hours exploring and playing - instruments, trampolines, the bread bus, beautiful grounds. A very special place.
8. West Mountain Farm, Inc.
Home to the largest llama herd in the northeast.
